# Assessment

The **Assessment** section of the menu groups everything CyberGuard knows about the security of your environment: one area per technology, plus the Security Score that puts them together.

| Area | What it assesses | How it runs |
| --- | --- | --- |
| [Security Score](https://wiki.cyberguard.srl/cat/assessment/security-score.md) | The overall picture: one score per technology, all open findings, attack paths and what changed. | Built automatically from the latest assessments. |
| [Active Directory](https://wiki.cyberguard.srl/cat/assessment/active-directory.md) | Your on-premises domains: domain controllers, accounts and permissions, policies, DNS, certificate services. | The [Active Directory agent](https://wiki.cyberguard.srl/cat/agents/active-directory.md), on demand or on a schedule. |
| [Microsoft Entra](https://wiki.cyberguard.srl/cat/assessment/microsoft-entra.md) | Identities, Conditional Access, roles, applications and signs of attack in your tenant. | Directly from the portal, on demand or on a [schedule](https://wiki.cyberguard.srl/cat/administration/scheduling.md). |
| [Microsoft 365](https://wiki.cyberguard.srl/cat/assessment/microsoft-365.md) | Exchange Online, SharePoint, Teams, Intune and Microsoft Defender. | The [Microsoft 365 agent](https://wiki.cyberguard.srl/cat/agents/microsoft-365.md), on demand or on a schedule. |
| [Compliance Assessments](https://wiki.cyberguard.srl/cat/assessment/compliance.md) | Your readiness for security regulations. | Guided questionnaires that you fill in. |

## The Assessment Pages

Active Directory, Microsoft Entra and Microsoft 365 work the same way.

![An assessment page](https://wiki.cyberguard.srl/cat/img/assessment-list.png)

- **Header actions** — start a new assessment and download what the agent needs (for Active Directory and Microsoft 365).
- **Counters** — the key numbers of the latest assessment, with the change from the previous one.
- **List of assessments** — every assessment collected, with date, scope, who ran it and the agent version. Click the detail icon to open an assessment.

## Inside an Assessment

Each assessment opens on a detail page organized in tabs, one per area of the technology. Each tab shows the collected data and highlights the problems found. From the detail page you can also:

- **Download the report** — a PDF report, in English or Italian, with the score, the findings and an action plan, ready to share with management.
- **Export to CSV** — the lists collected (users, devices, groups and so on) for your own analysis.
- **Add notes** — a free note on the assessment, visible to your team.

## Findings and Score

Every problem found becomes a **finding**, with a severity (Critical, Warning, Best Practice), a description and a recommendation. Findings weigh on the score of the technology, from 0 to 100. All findings of all technologies come together in the [Security Score](https://wiki.cyberguard.srl/cat/assessment/security-score.md), where you can filter them, document the work done and accept a risk.

## History

The list keeps the assessments of the past months, so you can follow how your environment changes and compare two assessments in [What Changed](https://wiki.cyberguard.srl/cat/assessment/security-score/what-changed.md). The oldest assessments are removed automatically.

To keep an assessment beyond that — for example as the starting point to measure your improvements — an administrator can **lock** it from its detail page, next to the notes. A locked assessment is kept for 12 months and shows a lock icon in the list. You can lock up to 3 assessments per technology.
